Yael How crumby that DH didnt do anything special. My sisters hubby is the same way! I just want to call these men up and tell them how it should be! lol! My sister has this problem every year so this year, she was so direct and told him, 'you know its my birthday tomorrow!' and 'remember last year' and all that. Well he got up on her birthday morning and told her he needed to take the baby shopping...and returned hours later with new fishing gear for HIMSELF! This man is very very sweet and really a good husband, but he just DOESNT GET IT! lol! I begged my sister to let me give him a talking to about that one! He ended up getting her flowers later, but is just isnt the same if you have to force them to do it! Anyway, sorry your birthday was so yucky. I wish I lived closer! I would throw you a party!! As for TTC, I wish we were right now, but I think we are going to wait till August or so. Finances are what is holding us back! Who knows, maybe we'll be belly buddies by accident! lol! So glad you have a chart up! I love keeping track...its so exciting to see a temp go up and not fall!

Beck OMG how exciting! I must not have understood your post about DH agreeing to TTC! I didnt think you meant now! Very excited for you!! I love the names you picked also! How fun that you are not telling! Will you find out though? That would be a hard secret to keep! Sprinkling all you ladies that are TTC with tons of babydust~!! {{{hugs}}} for you and Maddy! I hope you both get better sleeps soon!

Dani I would have freaked out if Abby was hitting the snakes! We have 2 bearded dragons bearded dragons as pets and I dont let her touch them. They dont bite, but I just dont trust wild animals no matter how tame they were raised! Snake party.....I dont know if I could ever give one of those! lol It isnt just you needing time without DH. I love Don and love to spend time with him, but sometimes I feel like I cant wait for a moment to myself (or just Abby and me). I think its very natural and you can get that way with anyone you are living with!

Missy Abby sometimes doesnt like getting dressed and it is almost like a wrestling match, and other times she is so easy to get dressed. I try to distract her with a toy or the tube of diaper rash cream! lol! How funny that Callum will yell back! Abby does that occasionally and it makes me laugh so hard! So sorry about Callum's bump and lack of sleep! I hate seeing our bubs fall into things! It happens though...especially now that we have 'toddlers'!!!

Meg where are you? It's been awhile! Hope everything is going well with the unpacking and all that and you get your computer up soooooon!!

Abby went to a birthday party last night at a bounce place, and although she hates the inflatable things to jump in, she did walk around with me, only holding on to my one hand! I felt I could let go and she would keep walking on her own, but when I would let go she would dive for my leg! lol! It is very soon though!! She is doing very well with her animal sounds, telling me what the doggy says, the sheep, the duck, and starting to do the cow! Aslo her new thing is to imitate us laughing. It is so fake it is funny! It happens at dinner, and if Don and I start to laugh at ANYTHING, she starts up this really loud really fake sounding laughing and just wont let up, and every time we look at her she will laugh at us! It is so funny that yesterday she almost made me spit out my milk I was drinking! lol!

As for me, the antibiotic has given me terrible stomache pains and problems, but it is the only one strong enough to maybe take care of my toothe problem, so I am going to try to stick with it. It seems like it is just one thing after another sometimes! Anyway, other than that...we have a WINTER STORM WARNING overnight tonight! Freezing rain and everything! That is a big deal here in Texas because we dont even have salt trucks or plows because it only snows once every 7 years or so! So when this happens, if it is icy in the morning, the city pretty much closes...schools and businesses close for the day. Hopefully DH will have the day off work! We'll see! I would love for it to snow so I can introduce Abby to it! Keep your fingers crossed!

I'm sorry all you ladies that didnt get personals this time around! Hope all is well!
